NBC handed out yet another post-The Voice preview, this time to the new sitcom Crowded with a 1.8 demo at 10:00, dropping to a 1.4 at 10:30. This puts it closer to the preview ratings of promising Superstore (2.0/1.6) compared with dud Telenovela (1.4/0.9), both of which aired after The Voice episodes that had very similar ratings to last night (2.6/2.9). At this level, Crowded does look stronger than The Carmichael Show, which it's slated to follow on Sundays going forward. But since this was a series premiere night, it may not be this solid beyond this night. It'll be interesting to see if this is enough to make NBC rethink the sitcoms' arrangement on Sundays.

Week two for ABC's new Tuesday was a big step down, with Fresh Off the Boat (1.1) getting slammed three tenths by DST and the return of NCIS in the hour. And Of Kings and Prophets (0.5) fell to massive disaster levels by week two. In the middle were The Real O'Neals (1.0) and Agents of SHIELD (1.0), which had more modest drops but were still at new lows.

CBS held up quite well against DST, with NCIS (2.0), NCIS: New Orleans (1.6) and Limitless (1.1) all matching their last originals. The 300th episode of the NCIS mothership may have helped.

DST was unwelcome news for New Girl (1.0), which hit a new season low by two tenths. The 9:00 shows Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.8) and The Grinder (0.6) tied their season lows from two weeks ago, with Grandfathered (0.5) in repeat mode at 8:30.

And the CW continued its Tuesday hiatus with repeats of The Flash (0.4) and iZombie (0.2).
